A persistent influence of supernovae on biodiversity over the Phanerozoic. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 It shows the correlation between diversity and supernovae frequency. Abstract It is an open question what has constrained macroevolutionary changes in marine animal diversity on the time scale of the Phanerozoic. Here, we will show that supernovae appear to have significantly influenced the biodiversity of life.

Modularity in the trilobite head consistent with the hypothesized segmental origin of the eyes. [PDF]
Evol Dev, 2022 The degree and structure of modularity in the heads of two trilobite species, Calyptaulax annulata (left) and Cloacaspis senilis (right) are identified. Best fit hypotheses of modularity are consistent for both species: the eyes and anterior head highly covary (red), consistent with the anteriormost ocular segment of early arthropods.

Developmental traits and life strategy of redlichiid trilobites. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2023 ABSTRACT The developmental mode of four redlichiid trilobites is summarized, based upon exceptionally well‐preserved, articulated specimens from Cambrian Series 2 (stages 3 and 4) strata in southwestern China and South Australia. These relatively complete developmental sequences indicate a balanced rate in segment increase and addition to the thorax ...

Systematics, morphology, and appendages of an Early Ordovician pilekiine trilobite Anacheirurus from Fezouata Shale and the early diversification of Cheiruridae [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 Pilekiines are the earliest diverging members of the successful trilobite family Cheiruridae. The pilekiine genus Anacheirurus is characterized by sub-quadratic to sub-oval glabella, pitted genae, and a distinct trunk with elongated pleural spines in ...

A new middle Cambrian trilobite with a specialized cephalon from Shandong Province, North China [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Trilobites achieved their maximum generic diversity in the Cambrian, but the peak of morphological disparity of their cranidia occurred in the Middle to Late Ordovician. Early to middle Cambrian trilobites with a specialized cephalon are rare, especially
